If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

I love you not as something private and personal, which is my own, but as something universal and worthy of love which I have found.

It is strange to talk of miracles, revelations, inspiration, and the like, as things past, while love remains.

A farmer, a hunter, a soldier, a reporter, even a philosopher, may be daunted; but nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? His business calls him out at all hours, even when doctors sleep.
